despite the flaws I enjoyed it
It was great in the beginning. Then it just fell apart. The ML didn’t grow at all. He couldn’t even ask his friends for help. let alone opening up.And they removed the slapstick comedy the whole premise of the drama. No one was tired of it, so why drop it?
TL;DR: Good drama, dumb decisions. They forgot to let the ML grow. The writers need to learn how to build a proper ending and wrap things up without losing the soul of the drama.
I hope they sort it out these issues if they are to create s2 or another show

When Justice Fails, Truth Sparks Change
Some stories must be heard by everyone, and Silenced is one of them.It exposes abuse hidden behind titles, awards, and church authority, showing how people easily defend the powerful and how choosing justice can cost everything.
The system is rotten. The police, a judge, two lawyers, a physician, and a teacher were bought for their silence. The powerful walk free, the poor are forced to accept injustice, and children are left broken. Min-Soo’s breakdown about forgiveness and his fate being the cruelest proof of failed justice.
The truth only moved forward through media and activists, leading to real change with the Dogani Law. That a film could spark reform shows how necessary this story was.
Choose justice over money. Truth over silence. Don’t let the powerful buy our conscience. Be like In-Ho.
Gong Yoo’s performance and his push to make this film are unforgettable.

A Bold Concept Undone by Weak Choices
It has a strong concept but uneven execution. The stapler suicide scene was genuinely inventive, and Lee Soo-hyuk carried the series with his visuals and performance.Some choices were frustrating - killing Jun-Seon felt unnecessary, and several plot points were left unresolved: the bully’s fate, Lee Gyu-Jin’s origin and link to Hyeon-Hop, and an awkwardly handled reunion with her mother.
The ending had the right idea but messy, cringey execution. Like a good song with a weak final bridge.

The Cruel Arithmetic of Privilege
This is a smart, unsettling social commentary. It shows how money works differently depending on where you stand: spending on the top floor has little cost, while basic needs crush those at the bottom. Just like real life, the rich don’t suffer when they spend, but the poor do just to survive.The series exposes how privilege breeds entitlement and cruelty. The system is rigged, anti-poor, and drives people into desperation, blurring morality just to move up. Still, characters like No. 2 show that kindness can exist even with nothing.
Strong cast, emotionally draining, and the sleep-deprivation concept is wild. Uncomfortable, and painfully real.

Strong Concept, Frustrating Finish
It has an interesting time-travel concept, and the idea that “time has no beginning or end, only people do” really sticks.Unfortunately, the show leaves too many questions unanswered.
Some relationships felt confusing and even uncomfortable, especially between Park Jin-Gyeom and Yoon Tae-Yi.
Strong concept, but messy and frustrating by the end.

Hearty: The Soul of a Painful Story
This is a heartbreaking story of quiet love, sacrifice, and hope that refuses to fade.Chan-yi is such a strong soul for a kid, and Yoo Seung-ho’s performance is impressive.
So-yi’s simple dream of living together with her mom, Chan-yi, and Hearty, never came true, which makes everything hurt more.
Hearty remains the emotional core of the film.
Painful, and deeply emotional. A tough watch, especially if you love dogs.

One of the best Thai BLs
I loved this drama so much, I finished it in two days. Despite what everyone says, i really liked the plot line, there was a clear story and development and it was never boring. I like how we get both sweet episodes when they are in highschool, and then more adult and deep episodes when they are on the island. What i loveeeed about this drama was the cinematography, it’s so calm and pretty especially during the island/beach episodes. These episodes on the island were amazing in general it really felt like an escape from reality, which is exactly what it was for PalmNeung.PondPhuwin did an amzing job in this drama, their acting was really good. Palm was so adorably sweet and protective with Neung. And they weren't afraid to kiss with some passion, in my opinion this drama actually has the best PondPhuwin kissing scenes. They also acted out the sad scenes so well (especially those, after what happens to Palms mom), i liked how this drama had alot of moments that impact you, Where you’re shocked, or have to cry.
Unlike many other Thai BLs, this one is not cringe or tries to be funny, but has a real story and makes you feel something. It is unlike PondPhwuins other dramas, in a good way, and they really showed a different side of them in this one.
Whoever says this drama is bad, maybe just doesn’t like BLs made with a lot of care, but rather fluffy rom coms.

A Disturbing Exhibit Between Art and Morality
This is very psychotic, disturbing, thought-provoking and unsettling.The show constantly blurs the line between art and morality, making you uncomfortable on purpose.
The plot twists are effective, even if some moments feel more shocking than deep.
It’s not an easy watch, but it sticks with you.

great series
i watched it twice and it still kept me hooked cuz it was so good. i loved son suk ku here. my personal opinion, but i did not like ji jin hee as park mu jin here but anyway that was covered by the supporting actors. i started it for lee jun hyuk seeing his name in the cast lists and oh, it was so good. assemblyman oh yeong seok as the villain was amazing. and and omg, I NEVER EVER EXPECTED SECRETARY HAN JU SEON TO BE THE MASTERMIND OMG. guys ts is a very big twist. changed my way of thinking cuz i never saw him as a villain even while rewatching it. anyways, i did love son suk ku and jun hyuk here but sadly they killed oh yeong seok off in ep 14 :( eheheWas this review helpful to you?

did not disappoint
when i saw stranger has another season, i was worried whether it would be a match for the forst season and yes, it was. hwang si mok, seo dong jae and han yeo jin did not dosapoint as usual but what irritated me was lee yeon jae, woo tae ha and choi bit. i could not absolutely stand lee yeon jae cuz wth was even her role. and as for the other 2 chiefs, ig seo dong jae qould have been found much earlier and in a better condition only if hwang si mok and han yeo jin worked together without their chiefs pressuring them. about seo dong jae's kidnapping, i never expected that 20y/o kid to do thag to him and i really felt bad for dong jae cuz wth was wrong with that guy's body. so that's why it was just a bit lacking compared to stranger s1 but that doesn't matter cuz it did not bore me at all. loved it anywayWas this review helpful to you?
Characters getting on my nerves
The overall plot and storyline was fine, I really enjoyed PondPhuwins story up to the moment they got together. PondPhuwin are a good couple so the chemistry was good, and I liked the way Phum was yearning for peem. However their kissing scenes were just ok.The main Problem with this drama is, that the friendgroup is not fun and wholesome, but an annoying bunch of kids. They’re just screaming and throwing food all the time, and personally I didn’t like any of them. What’s worse is, all of the sudden there are like 6 couples , none of them are cute or have chemistry, and we don’t get to see much of the main couple anymore. Only Qtoey are kind of sweet.
I guess if you like light-hearted university bls with big friendgroups and no deep meaning or impact its good, i would not rewatch though.

Uncertain Identity, No Tension
Project Y is labeled as a crime drama, but it never builds real tension or emotional weight. The narrative lacks escalation, the conflicts feel flat, and the stylistic choices don’t compensate for the structural weakness.It’s not disastrous in an explosive way — it’s simply inert. And in a crime film, inertia is fatal.

10/10 thriller
alot of people might find this drama really confusing but if you see it properly, everything does make sense. i loved the storyline, acting and the plot twists. shin hye sun did a great job as sarah kim in my opinion. and in the last episode, they did reveal it that shin hye sun was the real sarah kim and not kim mi jeong. if you look at her while she changed into her jail uniform, you will be able to see s stitch mark which proves that she donated her kidney as kim eun jae i.e she is the real sarah kim. the director did a great job.Was this review helpful to you?

A WARM HUG FOR YOUR HEART
Sometimes this drama feels like When Life Gives You Tangerines. Sometimes it feels like I’m watching Descendants of the Sun. But it is actually very different from both of them.This drama gives you heart-wrenching, light-hearted, and warm feelings at the same time. Even though I’m only teenager, it awakened my childhood memories.
☆ The ML & FL secret hideout scenes where they eat, chat, and spend happy times together. (My friends and I also had a spot at school where we gathered during free periods.)
☆ The lumber-making and painting scenes. In those scenes, many children watched Fang Muyang and Fei Ting making beds and chairs. These moments made the drama feel very realistic.
I truly loved it.
~ Plot ~
The story flows smoothly like butter. In the 1970s era, people had to endure many hardships. However, the plot does not focus only on sadness. Instead, it feels warm, light-hearted, and realistic. That’s why I liked this drama so much.
Furthermore, when needed, the ML and FL become reliable and serious. But when they are alone, they show their childish sides. I really loved their childish moments 😂
~ Cast ~
There’s no doubt that Chen Feiyu and Sun Qian did an amazing job. Their chemistry is incredible.
~ Makeup ~
The makeup was done beautifully. Thankfully, they didn’t make the ML and FL look unnaturally pale.
~ Cinematography ~
The entire drama is filled with breathtaking natural scenery. I can’t even express in words how much I loved those scenes.
This drama is truly underrated. I hope every C-drama fan watches this masterpiece. It is very different from typical Chinese dramas. 😍
